Katie Price joins a dating app in a bid to find romance during lockdown

Her turbulent love life has been well documented over the years.

And Katie Price has revealed she has now joined a dating app in a hope to finally land her Mr Right.

The glamour model, 41, downloaded Love at First Swipe in the hope of finding ‘love and true happiness’ online.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Katie said she has a new lease of life during lockdown and hopes the app will be a safe way to find a man.

She said: ‘With Covid lockdown what better and safer way to date.’

And a source close to Katie said the former Page 3 star is hopeful of finding love on the app.

They said: ‘Katie is delighted to be part of this app launch and hopes that it leads to many finding love and true happiness. 

‘Katie is happier than ever with her single independent status and is looking forward to her speed date with the competition winner, Katie’s been through a lot but she certainly hasn’t lost her sexy, sassy side – Katie’s is on fire.’

Love at First Swipe is launching a virtual date function where users can win a five-minute speed date with celebrities including Katie, Jack Fincham, Pete Wicks and Joshua Ritchie. 

It allows for virtual meetings via video call within the app. 

Earlier this year, Katie was admitted to The Priory to treat her post traumatic stress disorder after she was groped and held at gunpoint with her children Junior, 14, and Princess, 12, in South Africa.

The I’m A Celebrity star has been working hard to get her life back on track after being declared bankrupt and a string of personal blows, including splitting from her fiancé Kris Boyson last year.

Former glamour model Katie, who was once worth more than £40million, was made bankrupt last November after the High Court found she had failed to stick to a plan to repay her debts, estimated to be £800,000.

She was forced to give up her £2million 11-bedroom mansion a month later after signing the property over to a trustee. 

The house in West Sussex, where Katie lived with her children, included a swimming pool, tennis court and horse stables.

Katie took out a second mortgage on the property in 2015, but faced monthly payments of £12,300, and is now thought to be £100,000 in arrears.

Following years of incomplete renovations the house was nicknamed the ‘mucky mansion’ with Katie even showcasing the extent of the mess on her reality series My Crazy Life.

The star was planning on turning her home into a wedding venue, and soon started extensive renovations which halted after being declared bankrupt, with Katie being forced to living in Harvey’s annex.
